I applied online. I interviewed at Hartshorne Plunkard (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2015
Interview
Pre-Interview and then a secondary interview with Partner. The first interview was cordial and I liked the attitude and office. The second interview was with a Partner who seemed to be very distracted - was disinterested. He actually cussed several times which was quite unprofessional.
He complained about "STARCHITECTS" and his personal family issues to me which I thought was strange. When I tried to present my work he continued to talk about his upper staff as "NAVY SEALS" and basic office economics.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hartshorne Plunkard
Interview
I met with a Partner (Principal) of the firm. It was not very formal, we sat in a waiting room/loungy area and I presented my portfolio, talked about the design process and philosophy.
